Invest in The Quarters Downtown

Main page content begins here

The Quarters Downtown is emerging as the next up and coming neighbourhood and a prime investment opportunity in the heart of downtown Edmonton, Alberta’s capital city. Showcasing high-quality architecture and a mix of uses on the edge of North America's largest continuous stretch of parkland, The Quarters Downtown offers the best of urban living.

The City of Edmonton invites you to be a part of this exciting transformation!

Over $70 million has been invested in The Quarters Downtown to upgrade drainage capacity, separate storm and sanitary infrastructure, complete streetscape improvements on 96 Street and 104 Avenue, and remediate sites for redevelopment.

Additional infrastructure investments are planned with a focus on park development, further streetscape improvements, and property acquisition and consolidation to create additional redevelopment opportunities.

96 Street (The Armature) was constructed as a pilot “green street” showcasing low impact development technologies that slow the rate of stormwater runoff. The captured runoff will eventually be reused to help water the future Kinistinaw Park.

Construction of the new Valley Line LRT has begun and there is a stop in The Quarters Downtown. This leg of the City’s light rail transit will be complete by 2020.

Currently, The Quarters Downtown is home to 2,400 residents but will soon have the infrastructure capacity to accommodate between 18,000 - 20,000 residents.

Development Opportunities

The City has been leading the redevelopment efforts of The Quarters Downtown, and is looking for partners to build on the momentum. Ongoing development opportunities for The Quarters Downtown range from hotels to mixed-use residential and commercial properties to serve a growing market. The vision for The Quarters Downtown is that the area becomes a vibrant community of between 18,000 - 20,000 residents over a 20 year build out.
